The kickoff meeting Monday night was a success. Around 50 students came out to work with us and listen to a guest speaker talk about the negative effects of coal on our health, environment, and most importantly, our climate. At the end of the event, we divided into 5 breakout groups: Events and Grassroots; Student Coalitions; Faculty, Staff and Alumni Coalitions; Media; and Online and Social Networking. The event was a huge success and we are excited for all the exciting work these groups will have to report at our next general meeting at the end of October! If you couldn't make it to that meeting, but want to hear more about getting involved, email us at CoalFreeMU@googlegroups.com.
Guest Speaker Dr. Jan Weaver, head of the Environmental Studies Department at University of Missouri (Mizzou)
